What effect does reversal and remand have on an original indictment? Is it still in force or does the government need to issue a new indictment? Are the conditions relating to the original indictment (bond/supervision) still in force?
Answer
IF a conviction has been reversed in its entirety (not one out of three charges), and remanded, it typically means that the prosecutor goes forward again to trial with the indictment as drawn. No new indictment need be drawn, unless the reason it was reversed was the language in the indictment. The conditions relating to the bond are still in effect.
